▷ The best games for tablet?

Although the most comfortable device in terms of portability is the smartphone, and although the size of its screens and its resolution has been growing and improving over the years, the tablet seems to be designed for those users who enjoy playing their favorite games..

Indeed, the larger size of the tablet screens allows a more pleasant, easy and optimal gaming experience. On the other hand, this makes it easier for developers to implement better controls that improve the gaming experience. And although some games designed in portrait mode may be more suitable for the smartphone, other games are indisputably better on a tablet. So, today I bring you a very broad proposal with what could be the best games for tablets. I hope you like it.

In XCOM: Enemy Within you will be part of the side of the human beings who defend the world against an alien invasion. You must complete and upgrade your weapons and equipment, recruit soldiers, and you also have multiplayer to enjoy in company.
